Jul 4, 2014 at 9:21 comment added Hiemanshu Sharma I have to agree with @DanHulme. You cannot have an app that relies on root and usb debugging enabled. Also what do you think will be wiped out by a custom recovery?

Jul 4, 2014 at 7:57 comment added user3734225 Adding to my previous comment - What is the use of adb shell setprop? Can't I use it in this case?
Jul 4, 2014 at 7:38 comment added user3734225 Thank you very much! My primary purpose of the effort is implementing a forensic related application as a university final year project. I am really afraid, installing custom recovery will wipe out evidences from the device. Do you have any idea about the subject.
Jul 4, 2014 at 7:28 comment added Hiemanshu Sharma You can pull build.prop because /system has listing permission. You can change ro.secure=0 in your boot.img, but that is a really complex step. It would be easier to just install a custom recovery and do it from there.
Jul 4, 2014 at 7:23 comment added user3734225 Thank you. But I was able to pull build.prop file in /System folder. adb shell su and then I can list files in root folder. I read in a Google search setting ro.secure build property to 0 will help pull /data. Is this true? If so is there a way to do it?
